Febrile seizures are a common disor

Febrile seizures are a common disor-der in children between 3 months and 6 years of age, and are associated with an excellent prognosis. The risk of developing epilepsy is very small and neurological development and school progress are unaffected by the sei -zures. EEG and neuroimaging are not helpful and treatment with an anti- epileptic drug is rarely indicated.
